We're Back and We're Bad...

As we start getting back to a bit of normalcy, I feel like Julie Andrews running around the mountains singing, These are a few of my favorite things! Every day there's been something in a sort of "Back to the Future" moment that's new. Here's my list:

  • I'm taking next week off, and Sheila and I are headed out of town with the pups for a few days on the beach. It'll be our first time in a hotel in close to a year and a half!
  • I've got a pre-production sample of Platypod's new Platyball ball head and time to take it for a test drive. It's been way too long since I grabbed a camera and just played with a definite purpose in mind.
  • We're now getting out regularly with friends - the isolation of the pandemic will never be forgotten, but the memory fades a little more every day.
  • ClickCon is coming up in August in Chicago. The anticipation of my first LIVE conference in over a year is incredible. I'm the opening act on Monday night and kicking off the conference. Presenting LIVE as opposed to Zoom again has me pumped!

But the most significant underlying theme to everything is the pure joy of getting back in touch with friends, both old and new. As a guest on a podcast six months into the pandemic, I was asked, "What do you miss the most?" My answer: "Bumping into people, literally!"  

We're social animals, and while the phone, Facebook, Facetime, Skype, and Zoom all helped us stay in touch, nothing beats being with people - LIVE!
​
So everybody - take it slow, get your vaccine and WELCOME BACK!

At a recent proposal shoot, after so much isolation and distancing, I was taken aback when a client hugged me! It had been so long!
